    Drivers Seat is ripping. Coming apart at bolster.

    I wouldn’t recommend it if you want a luxury vehicle with a drivers seat that doesn’t come apart. Leather ripping at bolster drivers side. BMW service will not replace under warranty telling me I’m sitting in my seat improperly.

    Best car I have owned.

    This car went beyond my expectations. From the autobahns of Germany to the potholed, unrepaired streets and highways I have to drive here in the US along with avoiding those who drive without any regard for others being on the road my car has performed.

    Excellent

    I bought this CPO. Excellent experience with Ferman BMW. After weeks of researching various brands and models it all came down to the test drive. No comparison. The feel of control along with comfort sold me. Engage sport mode and you’ll be sold too. I’ve achieved over 36 mpg on the highway in eco pro mode.

    Fan of the brand! I don't understand why those who drive the Benz or Lexus don't switch BMW to experience a huge amazing selection in models and performance vehicles.

    Excellent handling and comfortable for long commute drives. My family has purchased over 10 BMWs throughout the years. My latest purchase was a BMW 530xi and I love the smooth ride, as well as the sleek interior and exterior.

    Reliability is worst of 4 BMWs I’ve owned.

    Very dissapointed in reliability and quality. I had to bring it back twice because of a driver’s door that would not secure while in motion. This was in the first month of ownership!
